Knitting Podcast Ep 56: So many WIPS!! From Summer to Fall Knitting!!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Love your haircut! GORGEOUS blue tee. I love it with that teal skirt!!! Your striped Farnham colors are just up my alley lol....I want to knit one toooooooo. Oh the queue just keeps growing!! THOSE CULOTTES!!!!!! I wonder how those will pair with your new Farnham.... I'm also in such a groove with mix and matching my knitting and sewing garments. So much fun! Michele of Woolens and Nosh has SUCH great colorways. I also prefer plumper sock yarns, the Targhee base is soooo nice. "Less beige and more me." LOL. Thanks for sharing tidbits from your lovely trip!! Happy podiversary! Take care friend!~Stephanie

[@Eva-ri1zb]

Your hair looks great! Love all your knitting projects

[@donnastubbs9525]

It's so delightful to see that you still have oodles of WIPs going plus sewing while working full time. It happens when those creative thoughts can't be stopped! Looking forward to your Rheinbeck video. Your first one is what got me started watching your channel.

[@sherismith9517]

Megha, you can look some happy and rested!! Of course your knitting is stunning, and you’re sewing astonishing! Here’s to many more years knowing you from afar!😊

[@chloecoutain4278]

Love love your shorter hair cut!! Love awesome on you and all the lovely things too! What a wonderful trip with beautiful architecture. Thank you for sharing.

[@janetjroberson2581]

Hello from Swansea, Illinois. Love your hair cut. Beautiful sweater, blue looks great on you!

[@marleneknits]

Megha, you hair looks amazing like this and I adore the color combination you chose for your farnham ❤

[@virginiasattler-reimer9554]

Love the haircut, I did the same thing this spring. Glad you had a nice vacation!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

New haircut is so good ❤ 1:12

[@colettemoolman4410]

Always good to see you and the crazy cats running around in the background.

[@jayshreeshah6245]

You look so cute with your new hair. Gorgeous knits and buys. love the end

[@shirleycoonce8726]

I love your haircut. Its very flattering also, blue suits you. You should wear it more often. Glad you enjoyed your trip. I always enjoy your podcast😊

[@onepinkplumknits]

The new haircut looks so good on you! Loved seeing all your knits and especially the blue tee. I also enjoy watching the fashion when we travel, we visited Netherlands and Belgium last year and I was especially delighted to see so many people wearing hand knit garments

[@whitmakes]

All your colors right now are so gorgeous!

[@suzannecarr5871]

Have been watching for a few months (thanks to Selma's recommendation on her channel) and you have inspired me to dive into garment sewing. I have done many quilts, bags and backpacks but have been intimidated by garments. Since I have been knitting sweaters for a few years, I *need* to make some pants to go with them 😏. Also, share your love and admiration of Rebecca Clow! That girl is a knitwear design machine. What talent!

[@lindacorgiat6820]

Love your projects!! I'll be watching the development of the fox sweater, that's such an intriguing pattern to me!!

[@judithhirschhorn7249]

Love your haircut!

[@Renata_M]

Now that's a cool trip! 😍 Your cool me-made looks, the coffees and the beers, the sit&knits and all the walks, ooooh I'm glad to see you guys had such a great trip! Brussels has been my most frequent work trip destination for many years, it was nice to see some familiar spots😅

[@Bellaolivetommylucy]

You are delightful, love your podcasts, I love kitties and we have two tabbys

[@jacquipiper4641]

Your haircut looks lovely. The blue the is gorgeous and really suits you

[@thingingthings615]

Oh my word, you were in Köln! 🤩 I hope you had the best time there! Although I live in Scotland now, I'm originally from there and the photo of you on the river made me so happy. Short hair looks fantastic, too. Big hugs from across the pond

[@tracyaa1081]

The first podcast I saw of yours, you were driving to Rhinebeck. Congratulations on 3 years of wonderful podcasting. You are delightful and very inspiring too. All the Best to you Megha.

[@skeinsofdreamsknits]

Aww thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@knitssinprogress]

Love the hair. Congrats on three years . I have the Farnham on my “short” list of knits 😊

[@deloresjackson437]

Thank you for another lovely episode. Your comments and photos of Amsterdam brought back so many great memories of our trip in March. While our weather was not the best so I could not observe the fashions and colors as you did. I was intrigued by the footwear that I saw. It struck me as yes, I have to wear comfortable waterproof shoes and boots, but absolutely with style. I loved the city and we hope to go there again soon. One of my highlights was going to Stephen and Penelope’s. I could have spent the entire at the yarn shop. My husband is patient, but not that patient. Have a great few weeks; looking forward to your next episode. 😊🐈❤

[@skeinsofdreamsknits]

Haha glad you had a good trip even though weather wasn’t the best! I was so happy to leave baljeet alone in the hotel so I could spend time at the yarn store 🤣

[@maggieanderson592]

So much inspiration and variety in all your projects! As for the blue of your Right as Rain Tee, you look absolutely dazzling in that fabulous colour. You are going to be finished your Nyx way before me - I’m still at the swatching stage!🙄

[@TheThoughtfulKnitter]

Thanks for sharing your trip and makes with us Megha, you fairly brightened up my Monday evening ☺️ The cobalt blue top is such a good colour on you 💙 And I love the combo you’ve chosen for your Nyx…it reminds me of pumpkin spice 🍂 Looking forward to hearing all your Rhinebeck plans, and I hope your work trips go well in the meantime x

[@christycampbell1874]

So delightful to hear about what's up with you! I'd love to watch a dedicated sewing video! I love the sew house seven pants and would live to hear about the chanterelle pants. I haven't sewn any of sew liberated patterns. Have a great week!❤

[@sandiniklas4882]

Love your hair. I so enjoy your podcast and all your knitting projects.

[@shelleywilkins9339]

Another amazing video. You are so inspiring! Love the hair. You look so fresh and sassy! Have a beautiful trip.

[@skeinsofdreamsknits]

Thank you so much!☺️

[@susanbossung9098]

Love, love, love your hair! You look so cute. Your knitting is great. I saw several things I might put in my queue.

[@LEATRICESCRIVNER-t6o]

The haircut is Beautiful! I worry about your kitties while you are traveling…..I hope you have a wonderful house/pet sitter. I love their antics in the background 😹

[@skeinsofdreamsknits]

We have the best pet sitters! They visit them twice a day and play a lot with them and send loads of updates! The cats love them and I have been able to stress less as well! I hate leaving the cats alone but they are happy and well fed when we return. We only leave them like this once a year 😊

[@piawolfsrensen2467]

Wau, you are so pretty in your blue 👕 🤩 I just love your podcast💕

[@ambrjetathome]

An idea for combining the knitting and sewing; you could make a vlog centered around one of the outfits you plan that has both a knitting and a sewing element. I know I would be super into watching something like that!

[@skeinsofdreamsknits]

Definitely a good idea!! I hope I can deliver hehehe

[@ChristieArcher]

New to your channel and enjoyed knitting on a project while learning about your projects. I’ve subscribed and look forward to future videos. Make your day a great one. ❤

[@bethmacdonaldstone]

Such fun to catch up with you and hear all about your latest trip. Sounds like a fabulous adventure. Take care with your work travels, have fun & looking forward to catching up soon at Rhinebeck!!!

[@skeinsofdreamsknits]

Thank you so much Beth ❤️❤️❤️

[@knitting-pw]

Another inspiring podcast, thank you. I too share your love of colour and do not like to wear all neutral shades. Being rather small in stature my husband always used to say that a I was easy to find on a busy London street!

[@skeinsofdreamsknits]

Hahahahah this is so perfect 🤣❤️

[@elizabethkirtz7967]

I’m continually amazed at your projects and what you accomplish! I’d really like to hear about your sewing because I’m interested in sewing clothes for myself. Love your pants! Thanks for sharing about your trip and the lovely pictures.

[@skeinsofdreamsknits]

Thank you 😊 that definitely gives me inspiration to make the sewing video once I am back from travels!

[@nagaratnasarvadevabatla4465]

You end up in front of yarn store...its not your fault.....It happens to me as well😂

[@skeinsofdreamsknits]

🤣

[@Serenity-fu8xz]

Your hair looks super cute

[@catherinethomes2910]

Sounds like you had a wonderful trip! ❤ Great projects…I love that For Fox Sake sweater…I might have to knit myself one!

[@jessicaolney4900]

Love the haircut! Thanks for sharing your time, stories, all of it with us! I hope to cross paths at Rhinebeck (you won't remember me from last year, though I was a bit nutty by the time I saw you and Rebecca that maybe I will be remembered 🤣. It was my first festival and I was tired and probably high on yarn fumes. Safe travels forr work and I hoope you get lots of knitting done on that sweater--it looks amazing!

[@jimmydoesknitting]

Knitting looks great. I hope you enjoyed Amsterdam. You were here at a good time. Looking forward to seeing your husband's sweater... in black 😉🖤

[@skeinsofdreamsknits]

Hahaha yeah, I must love him right? 🤣

[@theresacorreia7810]

Great video again. Glad to hear you’re not giving up on your colours. I love your colour choices.

[@addy5335]

Thank you. Looking forward to your sewing video. Safe trip to Canada, hope you manage to get some knitting in between work stuff.

[@skispinner]

My very first time to watch you. I really really enjoyed it. You talk about some of the same designers I like and test knit for. Not sure what part of the country you live in but love that you get to wear all the wooly sweaters. I will go back and watch some of your older podcast.

[@skeinsofdreamsknits]

Thank you for watching!! Welcome 😊 I live in Pittsburgh! It’s definitely cold enough to wear some of my cozy sweaters 😊

[@bobbiallison1117]

I love your haircut! I too usually have long hair, and last summer I let my niece cut and color it, It has now grown out to about the length you have now. I wondered if i was ever going to stop brushing my shoulders and chest! LOL

[@julieknitsandspins]

Such a wonderful video! Thank you for your time. What a wonderful trip. Making memories is so important. Love all your projects and the blue tee looks so awesome on you. 3 years already, where has the time gone? Remember when you and Rebecca exchanged yarn packages? We had no idea how our knitting community would turn out so much fun and connecting all over the world. We are lucky ❤to have

[@trudydelich2920]

So beautiful is the Right As Rain Tee in that stunning blue color. I had a plastic crochet hook taken away when I was LEAVING Singapore! i was pretty upset because crocheting was helping me get through the long flights back to MN. What would it matter that I was Leaving? and plastic!? So I understand your frustration at having had a similar experience. You really can make anything well, can't you!?

[@bethpaschal7859]

I always like seeing what is inspiring you Megha. Beautiful video. Good luck with finishing some knits so you can cast on the next one. I’m working on some blankets that are going to be Christmas gifts for my grandchildren. Your sewing is beautiful too. What patterns do you like the most for pants?

[@patriciapamponette9841]

It's always a pleasure looking at your podcast, thank you for sharing your trip. ❤

[@sabinebauerle7655]

Im so happy you enjoyed your trip to Europe and even find some time for visiting yarn shops. I was planning to go to rhinebeck this year but as I just adopted a new puppy I cannot make it. My goal is to go next year, fingers crossed.

[@skeinsofdreamsknits]

Omgg!! New puppy is exciting and exhausting! Good luck with that 😁

[@sabinebauerle7655]

@@skeinsofdreamsknits he sure is a handful and I love my little Bruno to pieces. So it’s not real hardship to change my plans about rhinebeck, he’s totally worth the ‚sacrifice „

[@Sassycanuckknitter]

Thank you Megha. I love the blue top and your pointers about crop top length because as a fellow knitter with ample hips I was struggling to sort out which length of crop would work for me. And I will be able to directly apply this information as I have a Love Note on the needles at the hem. Knitting is so adaptable and I love it. What you said about travelling with needles is a struggle and I think travelling with wooden needles is probably the way I will go when travelling from now on....I guess I need to buy more wooden circulars. :) Last but not least, you mentioned coming to Canada soon. May I ask where you are going and are there any knitters events we could meet you at?

[@skeinsofdreamsknits]

Thank you so much for watching!! Glad the crop length discussion helped :) I am in Toronto for two days actually. Its a quick work trip and haven’t planned any yarn store visits. I will definitely come again to the area and perhaps next time can plan something 😊

[@Sassycanuckknitter]

@@skeinsofdreamsknits I hope the business trip to Toronto is going well. TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) is on now if you have any time off in the evenings. I will stay tuned to your podcast and look forward to when you are able to come to Canada for knitting related activities. :) Happy knitting!

[@Goldwest]

Another great pod cast! I noticed in another video you did and today, the way you use your rotary mat and ruler. I am, by no means, telling you how to hold your ruler and cut, you do you and you may have settled in this way to work best for you. 😊Usually, you cut on the other side of the ruler, meaning, the fabric is under your ruler and you use the measurements on the ruler, not your mat. That way it holds your fabric down and there’s less chance of incorrectly cutting the fabric. That may not make sense, it’s kinda hard to explain. Anyway, if that works for you, keep doing what you’d re doing. 😅

[@skeinsofdreamsknits]

Oooh yes that does make sense… i did try and do that in the beginning when i watched videos but somehow I couldn’t get a hang of it… i should probably try again! Thank you ☺️

[@alora1027]

Your hair looks great ! Very flattering! Like all your ideas.
